News and Notes: CHI 35, SEA 24

The highlight of Sunday's 35-24 victory over Seattle in the divisional round was the 58-yard TD from Jay Cutler to Greg Olsen, but here are some other juicy nuggets and tidbits from Soldier Field.

CUTLER HAS 111.3 PASSER RATING
Bears QB Jay Cutler completed 15 of 28 his passing attempts for 274 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions for a 111.3 passer rating. The 111.3 passer rating is third highest all-time in the postseason among Bears quarterbacks with at least 20 passing attempts and fifth among Chicago QBs with at least 10 passing attempts.

BEARS HAVE 437 YARDS TOTAL OFFENSE
The Bears offense had 437 total net yards, the highest for the team during the Super Bowl era. The 176 net yards rushing is third most during that time, and the 261 net passing yards is highest.

CUTLER HAS 43 YARDS RUSHING WITH TWO TDs
Cutler had a career-high 43 yards rushing and two touchdowns in the Bears' divisional playoff versus Seattle. Cutler had a 6-yard TD run in the second quarter and a 9-yard scoring scamper in the third quarter.

He is just the second quarterback in NFL history to have two passing touchdowns and two rushing scores in a postseason game (Otto Graham, Cleveland, two times: 1954 and 1955 NFL Championship Games).

Cutler is the first Bears quarterback to run for a touchdown in a postseason contest since Jim McMahon also ran for two (2 yards and 1 yard) in Super Bowl XX.

OLSEN HAS 113 YARDS RECEIVING
Bears TE Greg Olsen had three receptions for 113 yards, the first Bears tight end in franchise history to have 100 yards receiving in a postseason game. Olsen's 113 yards receiving are third most in Bears single-game postseason history. It was the first 100-yard receiving game of Olsen's career.

He had a reception of 20-plus yards on each of the Bears first three touchdown drives: 58-yard touchdown; 33 yards to the Seattle 12 on the second touchdown drive and 22 yards to the Seahawks 41 on the third.

Olsen is the first Bears player with 100 yards receiving in a postseason contest since WR Bernard Berrian had 105 versus Seattle in the divisional playoff following the 2006 season (1/14/07).

TAYLOR HAS 1-YARD TD RUN
RB Chester Taylor had a 1-yard touchdown run on second-and-goal in the first quarter. During the 2010 regular season, Taylor had three TD runs, with all three coming from 1 yard out: Week 9 at Buffalo, second-and-goal; Week 13 at Detroit, first-and-goal; Week 14 versus New England, third-and-goal. On third-and-1 or fourth-and-1 situations during the 2010 regular season, Taylor converted six of eight attempts into first downs/touchdowns.

CUTLER CONNECTS WITH OLSEN FOR 58-YARD TD
Cutler got together with Olsen for a 58-yard touchdown in the first quarter.

The 58-yard reception was the longest of Olsen's NFL career. He is the fifth Bears tight end all-time to have a TD reception in the playoffs, joining Desmond Clark (1/15/06 vs. CAR, 1 yard), Keith Jennings (1/1/95 at MIN, 9 yards), James Thorton (1/6/91 vs. NO, 18 yards) and Pat Dunsmore (12/30/84 at WAS, 19 yards).

BEARS DEFENSE HAS STRONG OUTING
The Bears defense held the Seahawks to 34 yards rushing on 12 attempts (2.8 yards per carry) in the divisional playoff contest, third lowest output by a Chicago opponent in the postseason during the Super Bowl era and lowest since holding the Patriots to 7 yards rushing in Super Bowl XX.

They held the Seahawks to 3-of-14 on third downs (21.4 percent), the lowest by a Chicago opponent since holding New Orleans to 2-of-13 on third downs (15.4 percent) on 1/6/91.

The Monsters of the Midway forced Seattle into four three-and-out drives, including three on their first four possessions. The Bears offense scored a touchdown after each three-and-out drive by the Chicago defense, equaling 28 points.
